I know Hotspot has a lot of machine specific code, but there should be code for sparc64 for sure. But does it build and run on FreeBSD/sparc64? I would imagine that alpha and ia64 are much harder, and perhaps impossible, since Sun is not likely to be targetting these platforms. Perhaps maybe ia64, if Solaris is ported to it sometime in the future. Tom
